A Double Life

Product Information

I read the author's previous book, and while it was a reasonably enjoyable read, I thought it was slow going, with an ending that left me confused. However, I was still curious about her newest novel when I requested the ARC. The ending was, yet again, abrupt, and the only thing that saved the book from getting one star was the fact that it offered some sort of conclusion to the previous book. When he recorded Love and Theft, his voice was shot. On Modern Times, his voice is in shape. He’s been working at it. He goes in and his voice is good, relative to what it can be. She said, “Yeah, it was conscious. He told me that.”

Pavlova’s novel A Double Life shook the Russian literary world when it was published in 1848, earning widespread praise for its revolutionary form and psychological acuity. . . . The slim mixed-genre novel—translated by Barbara Heldt and released this year in a new edition . . . follows the 18-year-old Cecily von Lindenborn as her mother attempts to find her a husband. . . . The book is remarkable for its insights about the workings of internalized oppression. Talya Zax, The Atlantic Although his DNA is present at the scene of the crime and blood is found in his car 70 miles away there is no DNA underneath her fingernails indicating a close struggle. He is a Lord and has friends in high places that are willing to vouch for him and secure his alibi. During the inquest her reputation is brought into question including concerns over her mental health and her sexual proclivities.

Her argument chimes with what another female philosopher, Iris Murdoch, wrote in her essay Against Dryness, where she indicted anglophone analytic philosophy for its detachment from the blood and guts of life. Murdoch’s novels, like Eliot’s, went where male-dominated academic philosophy feared to tread.

But I really like the people, and working at the museum is a joy. I don’t know how the center is going to work out because that’s going to be a very different work space. We’ll have to see. But I agree with you that once the center opens, it’ll open up a lot of things. It will generate a dialogue.When the police tell Claire they've found him, her carefully calibrated existence begins to fracture. She doesn't know if she's the daughter of a murderer or a wronged man, but Claire will soon learn how far she'll go to finally find the truth. When did you realize that you didn’t just want to revise Behind the Shades, but to actually start over? This is the most well-researched (thanks to Tulsa and lots of new work by the author) biography of Bob Dylan there is, and I've read them all. It's a pity it ends after the '66 tour, and I hope Heylin is able to convince his publishers to do two more volumes instead of just one. One minute she's discussing her patients and the next paragraph she's reminiscing about the ice cream her father brought her the day before he went ballistic. WTF?

Another great thing about your book is that you have access to the raw session tapes, including banter between Dylan and his musicians and Dylan and his producers. That stuff wasn’t even released on the Bootleg Series albums. At that moment, she was not yet George, but someone else. Born Mary Anne Evans, she also used the name Marian and even Marianne, before assuming the pen name George Eliot, while letting herself be known as Mrs Lewes (not least to prospective landlords), and Polly to her beloved (whom in return she called Little Man). The woman we know as George had more than a double life: she made her way through Victorian patriarchy by any aliases necessary. Philby’s classy second novel is hard to pin down to any one specific genre combining as it does a number of elements but there is no doubt from the ever-present sense of creeping dread throughout that it’s deep into thriller territory. A Double Life examines the actions and consequences of two believably flawed female protagonists whose lives are on very different paths but against all expectations about to collide in the most unimaginable way.

Need Help?

I did really enjoy this book but found the ending somewhat unsatisfying so I have only given it 4 stars! Maybe I will need to read this author’s next book to resolve some of my questions in which case the ending is rather clever!

Heylin makes the claim that "Visions of Johanna" is possibly Dylan's greatest song. It is a perfectly respectable opinion. I have had at least forty songs over the last 54 years which I have considered to be Dylan's greatest song. "Vision of Johanna" was not on that list. Today at 7:52 pm I would say that "Tomorrow is a Long Time" is Dylan's greatest song. It’s a shame as Berry could have done something special with this story: using the Lord Lucan case as a springboard she asks questions about what it means to grow up thinking that your father might be a murderer, who used his ri Laughs] That’s a cruel thing to ask, particularly given the recent output of covers albums. It might be fairer to ask me my least favorite album of Dylan songs that he wrote. Some of the covers records … Triplicate is almost unlistenable to me, and the same for Christmas in the Heart or whatever the hell it’s called. [ Laughs.] Tempted, yes. But I’m not going to. Unfortunately, the sheer scale of the material is such that I’d literally have to start again. I did those books in good faith. I was thinking, “This is it. This is the 600 Bob Dylan songs that we know.” Now it’s 900. There are so many unknown songs that we didn’t know about, if you follow the story through the present, that would be a whole exercise in itself. Like Jane Eyre’s Rochester, Lewes was ugly yet (or so Carlisle tells us) irresistible. Eliot was ugly too: Henry James, a great admirer of her fiction, described Eliot as “magnificently ugly, deliciously hideous”. But at least she was as weighed down with baggage as Lewes. Like Rochester, Lewes was already married. True, he didn’t keep Agnes Lewes in the attic as Rochester did with Bertha, his purportedly mad Creole bride; rather Agnes, after having had three sons by Lewes, betrayed him and went on to have four more children with his friend Thornton Hunt. Marriage resists empirical lines of enquiry because of the complexity and aliveness of the human heart

Published in the revolutionary year of 1848, A Double Life traces the awakening of a young noblewoman who by day submits to the prose of high society matchmaking, while at night she is a poet in her dreams of true love. Before Kate Chopin and Virginia Woolf, there was Karolina Pavlova. Hilde Hoogenboom, Arizona State University Eliot died aged 61 in December 1880. Cross survived to write her multivolume hagiography and lobby the church to honour her. Only in 1980 was a memorial plaque for Eliot installed at Westminster Abbey between WH Auden and Dylan Thomas. It bears a quote from Scenes of Clerical Life: “The first condition of human goodness is something to love; the second something to reverence.” Carlisle’s book shows us that, happily, Mr and Mrs Lewes, though they never married, found both.
